Inspection of 12 December 2025 — Inspection Report
Immediate action notice. An Immediate Action Notice was issued to the registered provider on 12/12/2025 in relation to a non-compliance identified in relation to Regulation 23, General Safety. A response from the registered provider was received on 15/12/2025 and accepted.
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- Upon arrival of the inspector at the service twelve children, aged two years and six months to 4 years, were playing outdoors on scooters and bikes at the front of the premises. The two gates at the entrance were unlocked and the latches on the gates were easily accessible to the children. This posed a risk as a child could leave the premises and have access to the roadway. Additionally, an unauthorised adult could enter the premises
Provider's corrective action:
- Locks will be used at all times and all staff members made aware of procedures. A review of the risk assessment for the use of the carpark has been completed. A staff member will be positioned near the locked gate. As advised, we will also use cones to section part of the carpark to make supervision more manageable
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 16, 25, 26, 27.
